Under Coppolella, the Braves have developed one of MLB’s best farm systems, however, an eye-popping report from Yahoo’s Jeff Passan paints an ugly picture behind the scenes.

In a series of tweets, Passan reported that Coppolella was “well-loathed” among peers and that there was a “schadenfreude” reaction to his resignation.

Additionally, according to Passan, the Braves were being investigated for everything from international operations, the draft, and Coppolella’s treatment of employees. According to Passan, the Braves had become a “wasteland of infighting” and at least one anonymous complaint about Coppolella had been filed.

According to ESPN, John Hart, the Braves president of baseball operations, will take over as GM while they search for a replacement for Coppolella. Passan reported that the job is likely to be in high demand.

Numerous issues with John Coppolella came up as the league looked into the situation. At least one anonymous complaint was filed with MLB.

To put it mildly, John Coppolella was not well-liked among his peers. Well-loathed would be more accurate. A lot of schadenfreude right now.
